Signs are intended to be informative guides to travelers, but they sometimes unintentionally end up being offensive, creepy, or just so awful they're hilarious. These are Jalopnik readers' picks for the ten worst road signs.

Highway signs are an essential part of the traffic infrastructure. They can also be…

Welcome back to Answers of the Day — our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best ten responses from the previous day's Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, the Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!

Why it points us the wrong way: Look, the wooly mammoths and other Ice Age creatures whose skeletons gave this park its name don't care for your middle-school sex jokes. They just did what they did until, well, they died. So there's not much they can do about it.

Why it points us the wrong way: New York has a tendency to rename roads and bridges in ways that never get truly adopted by the populace. At least Avenue of the Americas isn't as roundly annoying as the misbegotten idea of renaming the Queensboro Bridge the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, marginalizing a properly borough-centric name in honor of a still-living former mayor and current gadfly with no real connection to Queens.

Why it points us the wrong way: We had this up a few weeks ago, but it bears repeating — because repetition is the only way you'll learn what times the school-zone law is in effect. I'm sure someone (probably Oakland County's su doku champion) spent a significant amount of time setting this up and making sure it was compliant and everything, but there is such a thing as too much information. No, not that kind.

Why it points us the wrong way: Civic pride must not be a strong point in the Beaver State. Or else it's just a matter-of-fact judgment call on Slacker Central. Or truth-in-advertising laws are respectfully considered up to the state level. Regardless, this may help show why everyone wants to move to Austin.

Why it points us the wrong way: We find it more than a bit hard to believe that in these kinder, gentler, more kid-protective times that a street name like this has been allowed to endure. Honestly, we find it hard to believe that anyone could be such an idiot and not figure this out in the first place.

Why it points us the wrong way: If you have one, that's your own damn business and we don't really want to know about it. If you want a different one, I'm sure there's someplace around that will discreetly accommodate your wishes. If you want to talk about it, there's got to be a forum for that somewhere. Trading them? That's a kink too far. Bring lots of bleach.

Why it points us the wrong way: In a fairer world, this would be perfectly reasonable: The area is named after Maj. Richard Bong, the quiet but spectacularly skilled Army Air Corps pilot who downed 40 Japanese planes in World War II. Instead, it's a pot joke. Have some respect, okay, folks?

Why it points us the wrong way: Well, technically, nothing on this sign is really false; if you go far enough east, you'll end up west of your point of origin, and vice versa. This is still not the most intuitive arrangement of directions. Then again, it's Oklahoma, so just keep going and you'll successfully get out eventually.
